The Academy’s Weapon Replicator

Chapter 232 (1) - The Academys Weapon Replicator



Bonus chapter thanks to @Huy Le and @Rave from Ko-fi!

"The weapons I'm replicating still can't handle all of these demons."

"But one weapon doesn't necessarily need to kill just one."

Swoosh!

Thud thud thud—

My weapons dispersed like shrapnel, each one piercing a demon's head, then another's heart, and then another from top to bottom.

"Spears are quite effective when dealing with this many enemies. Once you pierce one, you can just keep stabbing the next until the momentum dies."

“Kuaagh!”

“Aaargh!”

The ones that were ambushed first fell, and even those who couldn't see the weapons due to the others blocking their view had their necks and heads pierced.

“Wh-what's going on?!”

“He's using some weird technique!”

“Raise your weapons and defend!”

“The attacks themselves are nothing special! Use your aura! You can block them!”

The demons only started shouting after the number of dead had well exceeded double digits.

‘Nothing special, huh.’

He wasn't wrong. I was just making and shooting weapons.

The attack power relied on the performance of the weapons themselves. Even though I had pulled out the entire Imperial Armory, only about half of them could easily kill the demons.

The remaining half were doing some damage, but they couldn't kill them instantly.

“...Well, even so, it's not a problem.”

I just need to use the half that kills easily.

‘Besides, the Zodiacs will be here soon if I just hold out a little longer.’

My sixth sense already tells me that the Zodiacs are dealing with demons in other directions.

The demon fighting Azier, Mizonas, was it? His plan was probably to use these demons to separate me and Metamorph, but the moment Metamorph was trapped in my workshop, his plan was already shattered.

‘In the meantime, shall we do some testing?’

I manipulated the bracer and released Obsidian.

Obsidian spread out like black fog and unfolded around me.

After obtaining the mana of Helheim, I had been training to handle Obsidian thinner and finer, and thanks to that, each individual droplet of Obsidian had become so small that it was almost invisible to the naked eye.

These tiny black Obsidian particles surrounded me, making it look like fog.

“He's doing something weird again!”

The demons seemed to have become completely wary of me, and they were watching my every move even as they were being hit by weapons flying from all directions.

Since there were so many of them, some were even flying straight at me, prepared to die.

Perfect timing.

Swoosh—!

First, I shot the weapons I had weaving in the air at the demons flying straight at me. As if they had expected it, they emitted their auras even more vividly and deflected most of the weapons. Of course, some of them failed to defend and were hit, falling to the ground.

‘As expected, all demons can use aura.’

Whether they defended or not, all the demons here were using aura. They were using something that humans took years of training to acquire so naturally. It was probably innate.

‘Helheim's mana can penetrate aura more easily than normal mana.’

This was something I learned while dealing with Eden and his subordinates.

Perhaps because Helheim's mana itself was of a different nature, it could penetrate the opponent's aura more easily.

Of course, it wasn't something that could be completely ignored.

Then, in this case...

What if the enemy was also a monster from another world?

Weaving, Obsidian

Imperial Armory

Rank - Unique

I replicated the spears from the Imperial Armory that were slightly less effective against the demons using Obsidian. I matched the number exactly to the number of demons flying towards me.

Experiments are basically about minimizing variables under control.

“Here, take this.”

For once, I even gave them a signal before shooting.

To their eyes, they would probably look like similar weapons.

Swoosh!

As expected, they were once again thinking of blocking. Some held their weapons, some reduced their surface area by spreading their arms and legs, intending to dodge, and some emitted their auras even more, intending to endure with their bodies.

All of them.

Thud thud thud!!

Obsidian crushed them all.

“Kwaaak!”

“Gurk!”

The demons' screams were very human-like.

They spoke human language, their vital points were in the same locations as humans, and they were more similar to humans than I had thought.

‘Hmm. It easily pierces the demons' auras as well. I guess not all other worlds are the same.’

Well, it's not like these demons came from Helheim. It's clearly mana from a different world.

Even if it were the same world, Obsidian seems to have the effect of easily piercing through the opponent's aura.

‘For now, I've learned that Obsidian is more effective, so next time...’

I looked around. I checked my remaining mana and assessed the situation.

Actually, now that I've confirmed the effectiveness of Obsidian, it's possible to kill these demons more easily.

In fact, even without using Obsidian, if I push myself a little, I could probably slaughter most of these demons.

But I didn't.

Because it would be a waste.

‘This time, shall we see the difference between weapons of the same Unique rank?’

I still have a lot to test against these guys.
